Mike Gore's setup scripts
- We ASSUME you have, at minimum, the cscf root public key added to the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on the target machine*
- Location: linux.cscf.uwaterloo.ca:/home/magore/bin
- Removes old host keys on linux.cscf for the target host by name (all names host, host.cs, host.cs.uwaterloo.ca) and IP on linux.cscf
Mike Gore's add-host.f16 script usage on linux.cscf - designed for FALL 2016 grad PC with stand-alone admin user
This script will update existing F16 images with the patches supplied by David and Lawrence on *Friday Sept 2, 2016 - and create a local admin user
- ) logon to linux.cscf
- ) sudo bash
- ) cd */home/magore/bin
- ) ./add-host.f16 scspcxxx.cs userid
-
- The uwaterloo.ca part is not required
- If the host is in the .cs domain you must include the .cs
- userid will be an admin on the remote host with sudo perms
- copies scripts in /home/magore/bin to remote host under /tmp/bin"
- then runs /tmp/bin/updates.f16 -h scspcxxx.cs -u userid -y is called which causes:
- and runs ./add_user.f16
- scspcxxx.cs is replaced by your hostname
- Always adds %staff_cscf to the sudoers file
- But only if they are not already there
- userid is created as an admin user and added to the sudoers file
- But only if they are not already there
